Chapter 810
The Insane Doppelganger sent a contemptuous look at the spiritless answer, but the other Magic School Students seemed very moved by that response.
“I understand. The sight of outstanding magics clashing makes a mage’s heart beat faster.”
These inferior creatures, these stupid and dull trash, what outstanding…
“Shh. Master. Please be quiet. If they find out I’m learning from you, how jealous would those people be.”
Lee Han requested so only the staff hidden behind his body could hear.
Of course, the Insane Doppelganger didn’t listen.
Those jealous vermin…
‘I’ll just have to hide it.’
“A mage should have cold and rational reason, but without this kind of passion, one cannot rise to higher realms!”
The Callarogard students’ words seemed quite pleasing, as the Baldrogard Students also sent cheers and applauded.
“That’s right!”
“Magic is done with the heart!”
The Callarogard students warmly responded to the support from their recent enemies.
“You guys shut up.”
“Where do you think you’re butting in?”
“…”
The resentment built up between each other’s magic schools was too deep to transition into a touching atmosphere.
Especially the Callarogard students had no intention of tolerating whatever statements the Baldrogard Students made about magic.
How dare they!
“These rude and vulgar bastards! We showed respect and this is what we get!”
“Unforgivable!”
When the Baldrogard Students drew their staffs, Lee Han was slightly surprised.
‘Oh. They can actually do something?’
It was a very rude thought, but honestly, the fact that the Baldrogard Students were drawing their staffs to cast magic was quite surprising in itself.
As expected, by fourth year even Baldrogard Students have some magical achievements…
“Lord Galar. Please punish them!”
“Give them a good lesson!”
“…”
“…”
Lee Han and Galar fell silent and exchanged glances.
Galar spoke with his eyes.
‘Don’t pity me.’
‘Understood.’
It was certainly the right thing to say.
What right did Lee Han have to pity a mage walking his own path?
And Lee Han wasn’t in a particularly good situation to pity others either.
Starting with Einroguard’s various eccentric professors, there was also an ancient madman trying to kill him, and Professor Verdus too…
‘Oh right. Originally I should have put the Insane Doppelganger after Professor Verdus. I made a mistake.’
I was listing them in order of terribleness, how could I make such a mistake.
Summon the Black Imperial Coffin. Make those bastards kneel.
“?”
While Lee Han was thinking other thoughts, the Insane Doppelganger spoke again.
Lee Han was puzzled, not knowing what the Black Imperial Coffin was.
Black Imperial Coffin. …Don’t tell me you don’t know what the Black Imperial Coffin is?
“Yes.”
If you don’t even know the Black Imperial Coffin, I have no idea what magic these trash are teaching. Follow my instructions. I’ll teach you.
The Insane Doppelganger commanded him to prepare magic according to his instructions.
Lee Han wanted to ask what kind of magic it was, but the Insane Doppelganger’s patience seemed to have hit rock bottom, so he was cautious.
‘If it’s summoning magic based on darkness elements… but it looks too complex and difficult.’
As Lee Han waved his staff and built up the magic structure as the Insane Doppelganger instructed, he suddenly had doubts.
Could he really pull off this magic?
Basically, the magic the Insane Doppelganger made him do was always very high in difficulty.
Just look at how he was raging about learning more 5th Circle magic.
Looking at the structure, this magic was definitely not simple and easy either…
‘This looks like Three Kingdoms period script.’
The phrases carved throughout the magic circle were letters used during the Three Kingdoms period.
Even if he couldn’t fully understand their meaning, Lee Han was a second year after all, so he got a rough feeling.
This was a device for controlling and blocking considerably powerful beings.
“Master. Can I really cast this magic at my level?”
Instead of answering, the Insane Doppelganger ignored him.
The Insane Doppelganger was gradually getting the hang of dealing with his disciple. Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
“…Offering only the purest darkness as sacrifice…”
As the magic form was roughly completed, flames composed of darkness elements bloomed at each directional point nearby and space shook. It was a typical sign of summoning magic.
Lee Han was greatly surprised feeling the mana flowing out like a torrent.
Since mages often offer mana as payment when casting summoning magic, that itself wasn’t surprising, but…
‘What the hell is this amount?’
It was an amount of mana that surprised even Lee Han, who wasted mana at wasteful levels.
Only then did Lee Han realize what the Insane Doppelganger was thinking when he told him to use this magic.
Black Imperial Coffin summoning wasn’t so much very high in difficulty itself, but rather a magic that could be solved with mana quantity once the preparations were somehow arranged.
It was definitely a magic that suited someone with exceptional mana well. Lee Han was slightly impressed inwardly.
‘He can even show this kind of consideration. I’m surprised. Honestly, I thought he’d force me to cast impossible magic.’
Not bad for a first attempt. Continue.
Perhaps due to the magic’s characteristics, the Insane Doppelganger was also quite satisfied. Lee Han glanced around and asked slyly.
“Master. What kind of magic is this?”
Magic to shut up the vermin who claim to be dark mages.
“…I wasn’t asking for that kind of metaphor but what kind of magic it really is.”
The Insane Doppelganger gazed at the summoning between the darkness flames, then turned his gaze.
What kind of magic does it seem like?
“It uses darkness elements, has this complex structure, and is summoning magic… Hmm. I’m not sure. Black Dragon?”
Not bad.
“Was that a good answer?”
No. The answer was nonsense. Foolish thing. But I’ll look kindly upon your will to summon a Black Dragon.
“I wasn’t saying I wanted to summon…”
The Black Imperial Coffin is a coffin containing an artificially created demigod.
“???”
When his disciple didn’t understand, the Insane Doppelganger patiently explained like someone who prided himself as the Empire’s most outstanding master.
Just as some twisted mages (including the Skeleton Principal and the Head of Wardanaz Family) found the source of divine magic in the faith offered by priests rather than the existence of gods, the Insane Doppelganger thought the same way.
From there, the Insane Doppelganger went one step further.
If priests created divine magic by offering faith, couldn’t he accomplish similar things too?
Of course, since he had to replace the faith sent by millions of people by himself, there would be various limitations…
…The Insane Doppelganger eventually completed this secret art.
An artificial demigod summoned by offering the purest darkness elements instead of faith.
That was the Black Imperial Coffin.
“…”
Lee Han was overwhelmed after hearing the explanation.
As a mage learning magic himself, he was overwhelmed by the Insane Doppelganger’s words.
Apart from the magic’s power or difficulty, the Insane Doppelganger’s very conception exuded intimidation.
‘Are these the ancient mages?’
To create something resembling a god through magic and summon it.
Not contracting with and calling forth a being from another dimension, but an artificial existence created by a mage alone.
‘No. More than that, do you normally cast such things to make dark mages kneel?’
Lee Han belatedly recalled why he was casting this magic now.
He was doing this to show off his magic to the Callarogard dark mages.
“Wait. But why a coffin?”
If it’s an artificial dark demigod, it should be 【Summon Dark Emperor】, so why is it called 【Summon Dark Emperor’s Coffin】?
You should confine it, so are you planning to let the artificial demigod loose freely?
“Is it a dangerous existence?”
No.
“Phew. That’s a relief. I suppose you made it benevolent?”
The magic is not dangerous. Only the mage who handles that magic falls into danger themselves. Is the sun dangerous?
‘It is dangerous, you bastard…’
Lee Han was about to tell the story of a mage who went close to the sun and met a tragic end, but stopped.
It seemed this artificial demigod was indeed a very dangerous existence.
* * *
The Callarogard students, who had forgotten that Lee Han had intervened and were arguing with the Baldrogard students again, hesitated.
The Baldrogard students seemed to think their words had gotten through and were triumphant.
“You finally understand it seems. Your frivolity!”
“…What is that thing?”
Garaldo also sensed something unusual and turned his gaze.
While they were arguing, the 2nd year Einroguard student was summoning something strange.
A massive black coffin made of dark elements!
“???”
“What is that?”
The Baldrogard students tilted their heads seeing only the outer appearance of the Dark Emperor’s Coffin.
It looked too different from typical summoning magic.
Usually when beings from other dimensions reveal themselves, or when inanimate objects are summoned, their purpose should be clearly felt…
But now that massive coffin’s purpose was incomprehensible.
However, the Callarogard students were different. As mages who specialized in learning dark magic, they felt an essential eeriness and ominousness.
‘The density of dark elements is at an absurd level!’
‘What on earth did he summon?’
Hiss-
Suddenly the undead next to a Callarogard student was reverse-summoned just like that.
Without any attack, without any sign.
“???!”
“What?!”
“…Dark, Dark Emperor’s Coffin! It’s the Dark Emperor’s Coffin!”
Among the Callarogard students was one whose major was ancient dark magic research.
That student couldn’t believe it, but recognized what magic this was.
In ancient times, this secret art created by an unknown archmage spread like wildfire through many kingdoms, and many dark mages became obsessed with it.
Magic that creates an artificial dark demigod and then confines it in a coffin to control it!
“There’s such magic?!”
“Why haven’t I heard of it before? If it’s such magic, I’d like to learn it too!”
Though it was a half-existence, trapped in a coffin, and artificially created, a god was still a god.
Being able to impose new rules on the surroundings and twist reality as the mage desired was that appealing.
In the case of the demigod inside that Dark Emperor’s Coffin, it clearly possessed the authority to control all surrounding undead.
“Well… I only heard that it was such dangerous magic that it was surely banned even in ancient times…”
The amount of dark elements needed for a single short summoning, not even a permanent one, was beyond imagination.
To gather such dark elements, dark mages had no choice but to dabble in evil forbidden arts.
There were problems after summoning too.
It was somewhat better when it stayed obediently trapped inside the coffin, but if the coffin broke during battle and the confined demigod crawled out, what would happen was completely unpredictable.
The mage created the demigod, but was not the demigod’s master. There were countless cases in ancient times where demigods born with authority designated by the mage came out of their coffins and devastated the surroundings.
To find such dangerous magic and boldly cast it like that.
Indeed, Einroguard’s madness was unparalleled.
“Why did he cast such a lost magic?”
“I… I don’t know. As expected, those Einroguard bastards aren’t normally insane…”
“Everyone. Do you see?”
Lee Han, who had summoned the Dark Emperor’s Coffin, opened his mouth without knowing the other mages’ shock.
It was time to end this dispute to satisfy the insane doppelganger.
“Is there anyone who can stand against this magic? If not, I dare to declare victory!”
The Callarogard students sent disgusted looks.
Those looks had only one meaning.
Crazy bastard!
To boldly bring out such forbidden and lost magic just for the purpose of showing off his skills.
One Callarogard student, who was trembling at that boldness and cruelty, looked carefully at Lee Han’s face and hesitated.
“Wait. Are you by any chance… Lee Han of the Wardanaz Family? The one Senior Agdung mentioned?”
“What? Wardanaz Family?”
The Baldrogard students also reacted to the Callarogard student’s words.
“That 4th year?”
“Wasn’t he a 5th year?”
“You foolish friends. He’s a 6th year. What will you do if you can’t even count numbers.”
“…”
Galar looked at the Baldrogard students as if dumbfounded.
He knew they were stupid, but this was really…?!
